good move but they really need to have a govt issued license before they are allowed in public and to be in contact with the mouth. you never know what germs might be caught. serious health issue bordering on pandemic may result. legislation needs to be enacted .

browser is having problems but the torrent client is fine. so yes something strange afoot.

Scroll down to "pla"

thanks very much for this, yes lots of good info a very good start but i do notice some inaccuracies so dont go to war over it. lots of potential with just a little polish needed.

i post from my favorite position, flat on my back on the bed in my room. netbook in left hand, one finger type with the right.

My ISP provider location says Bangkok but I'm actually in a far-flung undisclosed location so that every Tom, Dick, & Harry won't know where I am.

yeah you especially gotta watch out for those Dicks

I went to take Winter Warms to some kids yesterday at their village...donated by friends on FaceBook...I've been doing it since i was a monk for the past three winters.... I'm lucky...i get to receive the smiles first-hand...but the donors also get the merit and enjoy the photos.... (not trying to brag...just giving BG to the story..) without the kindness of the donors I couldn't get to enjoy this...although i do all the running around....its worth it.

what did they do with the ones you gave em last year? burn them to keep warm?

no there is no accommodation there you have to sleep with the monkeys at one of the abandoned temples.

" kick in the mouth" well i guess its better than being ignored for a blind horse.

Civil war!

what war is civil?

This is old.... but quite naughty

I doubt very much a rabid dog would be able to live safely with 2 small children.

Sounds like the dog owner is just total and utter scum rather than a rabies issue.

agree, or it could be just the usual advertising. these health ppl are desperate cases having hocked their future on a fading dream. now u know why no one pointed that out earlier

sigh go ditch

i would have said it confirms something quite different, (and unmentionable)

have always gotten one of the end corner rooms at Mixay Paradise

and agree the inner rooms would suck

its populars and so you take whats available. knowing its not going to be forever.

It's the best known gh in Vientiane and more or less clean. It caters to backpackers, the penniless lisers you described above. The rooms are nothing more than cell hong kong cell blocks at best. There are loads of places to stay along the sois running off Samsenthai. There are also a dozen on the opposite side of the road.

Maybe instead of heading to the pub, find a reasonable place to stay, drop your gear and then go out, have a walk (!) about and find the best place that suits your taste and budget. Being on those small sois is not all that great. Eating on Riverside, cafes have awfulnexpendive food and the nightly outdoir affair onnthe river itself is ghastly poor value.

what actually is it that you do in these palatial mansions of a room? i see it, you need a vast space to encompass your highly developed ESP while you are asleep.

for one or two nights is it really worth going to the extra trouble and paying through your nose? you spend your whole time in Vientiane admiring the decor of your room? i see it, you dont want to go outside and get harassed by tuk-tuks. i suppose you need twenty-four hour complete room service as well. perfectly understandable. get a grip!

post it here and accelerate its "going downhill"

i am not pregnant but my best friends know that when i disappear i dont want to be found or searched for. they are used to it and require no explanation. some people including me require lots of time and space in a different dimension.

but they have also told me that they can pull obscure/opague strings to track me if they so feel inclined. not real impressed with that but thats the way this world is. you cant move without leaving footsteps.

Not an expert at Thai language but the pronunciation of กูกลับมาแล้ว is: Khu kab ma leow, isn't it?

Of course, I know that "Khu" is kind of "low" spoken Thai but does it justify the F word in the translation ?

( maybe I should have posted that in the appropriate forum.....)

agreed, these Thai reporter are more than a little "creative" in their english translations

yes i've heard that mental deficencies/reading deficencies are caused by a lack of chilies, you obviously aren't eating enough priknamplaa. quite common among farang women though so nothing unusual

Where does this hilarious info come from ?

Thai soaps?

Sorry fungus, viruses or bacterias don't trigger mental illness, but Thai soaps do

i am not going to tell you. you are obviously quite content with your soaps,

i am outta 'ere

my favourite Thai health food which i take combined with nearly every other food is (very fine cut) "prik nam pla":

Topic is about HERBS, pla = fish, not a herb

yada yada yakety yak! nam pla is not fish but fermented fish sauce. the main ingredients in "prik nam pla" are red and green chilis. they have a right to exist next to ginger and all the other stuff which was posted.

now go back to your dark corner, repent and don't talk without being asked when grown-ups discuss their "dietary add-ons"

If you think a sauce is a herb, you might be the one in need of growing up.

Nampla has not have any particular benefits itself apart from the fact that it contains chillies and it would be more relevant to state their use in food preservation in hot climate, and ward off bacterial, fungal and viral illnesses, than speculate about the age of posters.

probably the most dramatic noticeable effect comes from just a few leaf segments occasionally of Moringa oleifera.

you don't really need to buy it. when you can identify the tree you see it frequently throughout thailand.
